The Best Vegan Banana Bread

This Vegan Banana Bread is healthy, simple, and delicious. No mixer or fancy vegan replacement ingredients required!

This healthy and amazing Banana Bread recipe has become one of the most popular recipes that I have shared on my Instagram, and I am so excited to finally be publishing it here.

There’s nothing better than a warm slice of banana bread fresh out of the oven, and this recipe is made with 100% wholesome ingredients that you can feel good about. If you love banana bread I promise you will love this guilt-free recipe, and so will everyone else who tries it.

Why this recipe works

Vegan banana bread recipes often call for egg replacements like flax seeds or other substitutes that you may not have on hand, but this recipe sticks to the basics.

Banana happens to be one of my favorite egg replacements when making vegan desserts, which is why this recipe calls for three whole overripe bananas. Another benefit of incorporating banana into a recipe is that it acts as a natural sweetener. This is why this recipe only calls for 1/3 of a cup of maple syrup.

I decided to use coconut oil as the fat source in this banana bread because using coconut oil in cakes or breads will always ensure that they turn out moist and obtain a tender crumb.

A combination of oat flour and whole wheat flour ensure that this vegan banana bread is healthier than traditional banana bread recipes, and they give this bread an extra special flavor that I love!

Of course, I had to incorporate chocolate chips because…well who doesn’t love chocolate? Chocolate chips also help to give this banana bread another element of sweetness that is just perfect.

Pro tip:

Pro tip: if your bananas are ripe, but not overripe yet, pop them in the oven at 350 degrees until the peels turn completely black. Then remove them from the oven and allow time to cool before slicing off the peel with a knife – now you have perfectly soft and sweet bananas! Magical.

This Banana Bread is easy to make, but even easier to eat. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Happy Baking!
